Overview of Using Your Account

Learn the benefits of an account, how to create an account, how to sign in, and how to manage your account.

Account Benefits

If you have an account, you can:

  • Join our mailing list, participate in user testing to help us improve the site, provide feedback and ask general support questions, and ask for assistance with finding disability statistics that are not on the site.
  • Save specific results so you don’t have to re-select them in the Selection pane (feature coming soon).

Creating an Account

To create an account:

    • The password must be at least 8 characters long.
    • If you would like to receive occasional email messages from us, select “Yes, I would like to receive…”. You can change this setting later in your user profile.
    • If you would like to assist us with usability testing, select “Yes, I would be willing to participate…”. You can change this setting later in your user profile.
